Parks & Recreation

Show Synopsis

From Emmy Award-winning executive producers Greg Daniels (“The Office,” “King of the Hill”) and Michael Schur (“The Office,” “Saturday Night Live”), “Parks and Recreation” is a hilarious ensemble comedy that follows Leslie Knope (Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Amy Poehler, “Saturday Night Live,” “Baby Mama”), a mid-level bureaucrat in the Parks and Recreation Department of Pawnee, Indiana, and her tireless efforts to make her quintessentially American town just a little bit more fun.

In the Pawnee Parks and Recreation Department, Leslie’s office mates include Chris Traeger (Rob Lowe), a health nut who wants to live to be 150 years old, and Tom Haverford (Aziz Ansari), a fashion-obsessed wannabe player whose greatest dream is to own his own nightclub. Leslie’s boss, Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman), hates the very government he works for, and sports one of the most impressive moustaches on primetime television.
